DEPRAG air tools for manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, and special applications
DEPRAG INDUSTRIAL air tools stand for robust technology, high performance, and reliable use in industrial applications. For many manual and automated processing steps – grinding, polishing, drilling, tapping, cutting, deburring, chiseling, sealing – we have the right pneumatic tool.
In addition to proven standard tools for demanding applications, ATEX-certified versions, custom special solutions, and matching accessories are also available.
What are air tools?
Air tools use compressed air as their energy source. This makes them especially suitable for robust industrial applications where performance, reliability, compact design, and durability under continuous load are required.
In manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance, pneumatic tools are used wherever recurring processing steps need to be performed efficiently, ergonomically, and reliably. They handle tasks such as grinding, polishing, drilling, tapping, cutting, chiseling, sawing, derusting, or sealing.
A key advantage is the ratio of performance, weight, and size. As a result, many pneumatic tools can be guided ergonomically over longer periods or integrated into fixtures, special-purpose machines, and automated processes.
DEPRAG air tools in industrial use
In industrial practice, tools must do more than perform a single processing task. They have to operate reliably over long periods, be easy to handle, and be suitable for the specific application.
DEPRAG INDUSTRIAL air tools are designed for demanding working environments. The portfolio ranges from compact hand tools for manual workstations to powerful tools for heavy-duty processing tasks. Depending on the product group, different designs, performance ranges, and versions are available.
Typical areas of use include:
Which air tool is right for your application?
Every industrial application has its own requirements in terms of performance, design, ergonomics, and working environment. That is why the tool type alone is not the only decisive factor — the specific task matters just as much: Do you need to process a surface, create a thread, loosen a screw connection, cut material, or assemble a component? The following product areas provide initial guidance and take you directly to the right DEPRAG air tools.
DEPRAG air tools support precise surface processing in industrial applications. Depending on the task, air grinders, air sanders, air files, or air needle scalers are used — for example when working on cast parts, weld seams, steel parts, non-metallic materials, or hard-to-reach surfaces. DEPRAG offers different designs and performance ranges for these tasks: from compact air files for deburring and fine grinding to powerful air grinders and air sanders for continuous operation.
Typical applications:
Grinding and polishing cast parts, steel parts, and weld seams
Deburring, fine grinding, and lapping in mold making, toolmaking, and fixture construction
Processing flat, curved, or hard-to-reach surfaces
Derusting, descaling, and cleaning surfaces
Air tools for surface processing:
For holes and threads in industrial applications, DEPRAG offers robust air drills and air tappers. The drills are available in inline design, angle-head design, and pistol-grip design. Air tappers are suitable for tapping and thread cleaning in steel, aluminum, and other materials – for both vertical and horizontal applications.
Typical applications:
Drilling in metal and other materials
Tapping and thread cleaning
Processing tasks in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, and aircraft manufacturing
Applications with inline design, angle-head design, or pistol-grip design
Air tools for drilling and tapping:
DEPRAG air impact tools are designed for robust applications in assembly and maintenance. They are suitable for powerful tightening and loosening of screw connections – even under demanding industrial operating conditions. Typical areas of use include the automotive industry, workshops, foundries, railcar manufacturing, the construction industry, mechanical engineering, and tire service.
Typical applications:
Tightening and loosening screw connections
Assembly and maintenance work
Use at high torques
Air tools for tightening and loosening:
DEPRAG offers a variety of air tools for separating, sawing, and cutting tasks. Air saws are suitable for cutting different materials and can also be used in critical application areas where combustion engines or electric motors are not suitable. In addition, metal shears enable manual cutting of steel and aluminum sheets – including straight and curved cuts.
Typical applications:
Sawing and separating different materials
Cutting steel and aluminum sheets
Straight cuts and curved cuts
Sheet-metal processing in body construction, tank and vessel construction, shipbuilding, and repair shops
Air tools for cutting and separating:
DEPRAG air hammers and air needle scalers are designed for robust material removal, cleaning, and chiseling work. Air hammers are used, among other applications, for chiseling, demolition work, joint work, fettling castings, removing rust, breaking up concrete or asphalt, and compacting molding material. Air needle scalers are particularly suitable for deslagging weld seams, derusting steel structures and tanks, and removing paint and scale.
Typical applications:
Chiseling, demolition, and joint work
Fettling castings and removing casting flash
Derusting, deslagging, and removing paint
Removing concrete, asphalt, plaster, or coatings
Air tools for hammering, chiseling, and material removal:
DEPRAG air pliers are suitable for recurring cutting, pressing, and assembly tasks in industrial manufacturing. They are used, among other areas, in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, assembly, maintenance, and series production. Depending on the version, they can be used to process metals, plastics, and wire ends, press cable lugs, or mount hose clamps, CLIC clamps, COBRA clamps, and spring clamps.
Typical applications:
Gripping, pressing, assembling, and sealing components
Cutting metals, plastics, and wire ends
Pressing cable lugs
Mounting hose clamps, CLIC clamps, COBRA clamps, and spring clamps
Air tools for gripping, pressing, and assembly:
For potentially explosive environments, DEPRAG offers robust, ATEX-certified air tools. These include impact wrenches, drills, and saws for critical applications, for example in open-pit and underground mining. Pneumatic tools are particularly relevant in these areas when electric drives or combustion engines are not suitable.
Typical applications:
Work in potentially explosive environments
Drilling, tightening, and sawing under critical environmental conditions
Applications with increased requirements for operational safety
Air tools for potentially explosive environments:
Robotic grinding as an automated solution
When grinding, deburring, or polishing processes need to be automated, DEPRAG offers suitable components for robot-guided applications. Adaptive grinding units support consistent processing results, relieve employees from physically demanding tasks, and enable reproducible processes in industrial manufacturing.
Custom solutions & accessories for air tools
Not every application can be optimally solved with a standard tool. For special processing, assembly, or handling tasks, DEPRAG offers custom air tools and matching accessories. These include adapted tool versions, air preparation units, hoses, couplings, tool holders, carbide cutters, chisels, blades, and additional components for the reliable operation of your air tools.
Typical requirements:
special workpiece geometries
specific assembly or processing operations
ergonomic adaptations
accessories for operation, maintenance, and tool mounting
We will advise you on the custom design of your application.
